Ten Big Ones

My name is Stephanie Plum. I have to set a good example since I'm renowned, according to my mother. She's correct, but because I'm from Jersey, I find it difficult to grasp the idea of setting a good example."

You might find yourself in the neighborhood of bounty hunter Stephanie Plum by turning off the Jersey Turnpike. All hell will burst loose, and you'll know it. She doesn't actively seek out trouble; it simply seems to find her. In Ten Big Ones, things blows up outside a deli, and they mark Stephanie as dead after she identifies a thief as a member of a violent Trenton gang. Even with the assistance of cross-dressing, crime-solving, bus driver Sally Sweet and Stephanie's pal Lula riding shotgun as backup, vice detective Joe Morelli worries she's in too deep. Stephanie decides that Ranger's original hidden hideaway is the greatest place to hide out as she is being pursued by a renowned murderer.
